H.E. Tun Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad
Former Prime Minister, Malaysia
Tun Dr Mahathir opened Malaysia to foreign investment, reformed taxation, reduced trade barriers, privatised numerous state-owned enterprises, and created a world-class physical infrastructure. He also sought to bridge Malaysia's remaining ethnic divisions by increasing general prosperity.
In 1991, he launched the New Development Policy, which emphasised industrial and commercial development and the elimination of poverty. Under Tun Dr. Mahathir's leadership, Malaysia developed into one of the most prosperous and dynamic economies in Southeast Asia, with a burgeoning manufacturing sector, an expanding middle class and enhanced quality of life.
